Solar Eclipse Parent Information

On August 21, JPB students will have the opportunity to view the first solar eclipse visible in Georgia in 38 years. The school will provide eclipse glasses to students and faculty/staff that meet the standard for ISO 12312-2:2015. The glasses we will provide are "CE" certified and are absolutely safe for direct solar viewing. If you do not want your child to go outside to view the eclipse, however, please check the appropriate box on the Solar Eclipse Parent Permission Form (see link below).

Due to the eclipse occurring at approximately 2:44 p.m., the Bulloch County School System has decided to delay dismissal times. Students at JPB will begin dismissing at 3:40 p.m. on August 21. If you are checking your child out early on August 21, we ask that you do so by 1:00 p.m. For further information regarding absences and early dismissals due to the eclipse, click here.
